Mapping Our Fuzzy Cat-Mice

Morning so nice!
Should I write a poem,
or map our fuzzy cat-mice?
Our broiler went on the fritz
and our charcoal grill’s on loan,
so one nice
morning, a guy came to fix
it, and moved our whole range out from its home
under the tile splash.
We had to blink twice,
when what should we behold but a shit-load
of fuzzy cat-mice
under there. Now the cats carry around the house,
thoser wobble-eyed mice with tiny rattles
in their heads. If I had the right device,
I could map the journey of each cat-mouse,
over time, from room to room,
to back under the range again.
I think that would be a pretty nifty
artifact, though not quite a poem.
Some morning so nice
I’ll start mapping our fuzzy cat-mice.
